BADI to convert Purch reqs of subcontracting type to standard Pur reqs

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

We have a subcontracting scenario in ECC. The master data is transferred to APO and purchase reqs of subcontracting type are generated. We have a requirement to convert these purchase requisitions of subcontracting type to standard pur reqs during transferring them from APO to R3 through CIF.

Please share your thoughts to map this scenario? Is there any BADI/enhancement available for this?

Hi,

Have a look to CIFPUR02 user exit (ERP).

Hi ,

You can do the same by using the user exit from APO to R3 and hardcoding the change of order category from LB to NB. However it is strongly not recommended as the moment you will change from subcontracting pReq to normal preq , the dependent demand for the components will not be seen and hence the business process of subcontractig is not mapped.

In case of subcontracting it is required to generate demand on components for getting your finished tolled product.

Can you let me know why would you like to convert the same ?

Let me know if it helps

Hi,

If you convert the subcontracting PR in APO to normal standard PR in SAP R/3, there will be still anamoly within the two PRs between APO and SAP R/3 systems.

It is expected to have relevant data synchronized between the two systems.

I think, you may have to revisit the business process, and check if really subcintracting is to be mapped in APO or not.

Hi,

The reason why we want subcontracting p-req to convert to standard p-reqs is due to the fact that the components to the vendor is also provided by another vendor and we are interested in purchasing the finished material only from vendor.

In a subcontracting scenario, you or some third party will normally supply the components to the subcontracting vendor to produce the FinshedGood.

In APO, you do the subcontracting scenario setup to determine the Dependant demand on the components which either you produce in-house or in your case-procure from another vendor.

I am assuming the following here: In APO, subcontracting setup is completed (SUBCONTRACTING TLANE, PPM OR PDS at SUBCONTRACTING LOCATION)

If you have the above setup, then it will generate a Subcon PR as demand on the Subcontracting location against which a Subcon Planned order will be generated which will explode the components.

You can do planning on the components and procure them from another vendor by setting up a TLANE.

Now a question for you: If you change the SUBCON PR to a normal PR, how will the SUBCONTRACTOR receive the components if it is not a SUBCON PO?

THanks
